What You Missed Week 2

Hi peeps! How’s 2014 going so far? Mine....lazy! No seriously though, this coming Wednesday everything goes back to normal! Lil Mister begins school again....so although I’ve had a million things that needed done this past week, I’ve just enjoyed the peace of an empty house. Of course the kids and Hubby are there....but it’s nice just being able to melt back into routine.

Speaking
of routine....we are working hard to get that started again! I won’t lie...my
laziness isn’t helping (neither is LJ’s teething!) but we’ll get there. Next
week....it’s all strict again. Clean kitchen at night, lunches made and bags
packed before bed! Lil Mister will begin school now and LJ starts his first day
of school ever asof the 3rd of February!

I’m
a little a lot nervous about LJ beginning school. It seems like such a big
step. I’ve already postponed it 2 ½ weeks because I want to let the other kids
settle before throwing him to the wolves! LJ’s teacher is amazing and she had
Lil Mister in her class last year. I know exactly what to expect from
her....patience, understanding, and discipline. She seems to know exactly how
to handle the kids. I know LJ will be happy...once he settles.

LJ
hasn’t been around kids his age before really. A short glimpse here or there,
but otherwise it’s just been Lil Mister. What if it takes him more than a few
days to settle? Will he understand that I’m coming back? What if he doesn’t cry
and gels right in immediately? What will that mean?

I
know I’ve put another child in school before too. And believe me...it was
outrageously hard. Lil Mister was only 6 weeks old when he started with the
crèche. I really regret never having thought about getting a girl at home to
look after him. But we did what we thought was best and I cried for hours. I
rushed out of work the moment I could to hold him in my arms again.

Lil
Mister has gone through stages where he wasn’t happy at school. He would cry
when we dropped him off and run into our arms in the afternoons. Okay....he
still does the running in the afternoons! But I know it’s what is best for
them. And he has taken to his school so nicely since we started him there last
year. I’m positive LJ is going to do just as well.

It’s
time for him to go to school. He is getting busier and busier and he is
beginning to test the boundaries. He wants to climb and explore everything and
doesn’t quite get what it means to share our toys. This causes multiple fights
a week between the boys! So, Mama must let him go and spread his wings....in a
few more weeks of course!

I believe in the sun even if it isn't shining. I believe in love even when I am alone. I believe in God even when He is silent.

My Fav's on the Blogs:

Krystal shares her fears and ideas of becoming a full time stay at home mom! Head over to give her some encouragement and tips!

Allie at Between Dreams tells us 3 things we need to let go of in order to be successful. It is inspiring and encouraging and so uplifting to have read this week!

So,
here’s a little insight to what you missed this week!

I
skipped my Saturday Funny and Sunday Inspiration this week! GASP! Life just got
in the way and I had some things that needed taking care of (mainly having to
leave work to deal with a dog that won’t stay in our yard!). It’s back up and
running this week....in the meantime check out some oldies!

Monday
I shared the first post of the 2014 Blogger Challenge. Gaby asked us to write
on inspiration! This was surprisingly easy and simple!

Tuesday
I shared Casting Crowns If We’ve Ever Needed You. It is a beautiful song
reminding us about the power of our reliance on God.

It
was also Lil Misters 3rd birthday! I can’t believe my little boy is
growing up so quickly! I wrote a letter to him to always remember these
moments!

Wednesday
brought us a throwback with some Wordless Wednesday photos from when Lil Mister
was a wee baby! He was a chunky lil guy! It was also another Twitter hop! I
hope you linked up....otherwise head over there before it’s too late!

Thursday
I got serious and wrote a letter to the guy who stole Lil Misters bike. Yes,
peeps, crime had finally landed on our doorstep...but it hasn’t slowed our
roll!

Routine ... don't I wish. I miss mine so bad and I can't wait to get back into one again! I'm glad you have been able to be lazy. We don't get to do that that often as parents! LOLHave a great weekend :)
